In a powerful display of political solidarity and party cohesion, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State has thrown its full weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda. During a high-profile stakeholders' meeting on Friday, December 19, 2025, party elders, leaders, and faithful unanimously passed a vote of confidence in both President Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, praising their exemplary leadership, people-centered policies, and unwavering dedication to sustainable national and state development.
The landmark gathering, hosted at the residence of prominent APC leader Hon. Dr. Chris Oghenechovwen in Edjophe, Ughelli South, was attended by an impressive array of political heavyweights, underscoring the deepening unity within the local APC chapter. Observers described the event as a resounding affirmation of harmony in Ughelli South politics, signaling the party's readiness to consolidate gains and deliver robust electoral successes in future contests.
Key among the resolutions was the unanimous decision that all future official APC meetings in Ughelli South must henceforth be convened either at the party secretariat or the Unity Hall located within the Ughelli South Local Government Secretariat. This move is seen as a strategic step toward institutionalizing party activities, enhancing transparency, and fostering greater inclusivity among members.
The motion for the vote of confidence was eloquently moved by renowned academic and elder statesman, Professor Godini Gabriel Darah, and enthusiastically seconded by former Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Barr. Tony Omonemu. It was adopted amid thunderous cheers and applause, reflecting the overwhelming consensus among attendees.
The meeting drew a distinguished lineup of APC stalwarts, including host Hon. Dr. Chris Oghenechovwen, Dr. A. P. Fovie, Chief Maka Oviri, Chief Mathew Ofioguma, Chief Johnson Boro, Hon. Susan Omeru, Mrs. Victoria Umukoro, Chief Uto Elvis, Hon. Racheal Ugherakpoteni, Chief Sleek Oshare, Chief Gordons Okomitie, Hon. Homes Oteri, Hon. Michael Oshetigho, Hon. Barr. Tony Duku, and Chief Samson Oboh, among numerous others.
Also in attendance were representatives from the Forum of APC Ward Women Leaders, such as Hon. Susan Omeru (Ewu Ward 1), Victoria Umukoro (Ewu Ward 1D), Eboral Uba (Ewu Ward 2), Ese Okuma (Olomu Ward 2), Vivian Edegware (Olomu Ward), Mureen Oviri (Jeremi Ward 1), Christy Onoriode (Ekakpamre Ward), Bridget (Eremi Ward 2), Glory Ovigbaku (Jeremi Ward 1), Vincent Alakpa (Jeremi Ward 3), and Madahem Umukoro.

Delivering remarks, Hon. Dr. Chris Oghenechovwen extolled President Tinubu's "bold reforms and transformative leadership," emphasizing how these initiatives have bolstered national party unity and unlocked vital resources for monumental infrastructure projects across the country. He particularly noted the positive ripple effects of federal policies on economic stabilization and growth.
Turning to state governance, Oghenechovwen hailed Governor Oborevwori's "visionary, pragmatic, and result-oriented leadership," pointing to the accelerated pace of infrastructure rollout and administrative reforms transforming Delta State. He cited ongoing projects in roads, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment as evidence of a governor committed to inclusive progress.

The Ughelli South APC collectively pledged unalloyed loyalty, internal unity, and a firm commitment to securing sweeping victories for the party in upcoming elections.
This endorsement comes at a pivotal time, as Nigeria navigates economic reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda. President Tinubu's policies—focused on subsidy removal, currency stabilization, and investment attraction—have been credited with laying foundations for long-term prosperity, despite short-term challenges. In Delta State, Governor Oborevwori's administration has prioritized the MORE Agenda, driving advancements in meaningful development, opportunity creation, realistic reforms, and enhanced peace and security.
The Ughelli South resolution reinforces a growing trend of cross-party appreciation in Delta, where even opposition figures acknowledge tangible strides in governance. It also positions the local APC as a unified force, poised to bridge federal and state efforts for the benefit of constituents.
As Delta State continues to emerge as a hub of development in the Niger Delta, such displays of political maturity signal brighter prospects for democratic engagement and policy implementation. The vote of confidence not only boosts morale within the APC ranks but also sends a clear message of support for leadership that prioritizes people-oriented progress.
This stakeholders' meeting exemplifies the vibrancy of grassroots politics in Ughelli South, where leaders and members converge to chart a path of unity and achievement. With pledges of loyalty and electoral preparedness, the local APC is evidently gearing up to play a decisive role in shaping Nigeria's political landscape ahead.
In the words echoed by attendees, this gathering marks a new chapter of solidarity, ready to advance the Renewed Hope Agenda and sustain Delta's developmental momentum under Governor Oborevwori.
